it's as senator obama said in 2006, it's an idea, it's the result of failed leadership. they're spending too much money in washington, and this idea that we're going to continue to maintain a $700 billion deficit. that's the current position of the senate, and the president is to continue these massive deficits. i mean, the frustration i have, and i think most americans have is not only the games but more importantly the ignorance of the major problem-- a $17 trillion debt, trillion dollars worth of deficits every year for the first four years of this administration, that's why during the debt ceiling proposal last week was to say let's talk about entitlements, let's talk about how we can get our spending under control, not in the short term, not this week, this year, but in the next decade, and that's yet house republicans are pushing for a plan to balance the budget in 10 years, and obamaed cace cannot be part of that plan because it blows a huge noel our deficits. >> schieffer: okay, i think you've made your point. you're not backing off. you're not budging a bit. all

ongoing spendi spending binge has resulted in a debt that exceeds the size. the biggest loss, the ones in red, actually happened when george bush was president. doesn't the president, barack obama, deserve some credit for improving the economy from what he inherited. joy reid and michael crawley. what a name to have after "downton abbey" after all these months. it seems to me that when i look at the stock market breaking all records, when i look at 236,000 new jobs and i keep thinking when are the republicans doing to do what rodney dangerfield asks people to do, show some respect, don't people say, damnit things have got to be getting better? >> no, i agree with you. they were saying the economy is terrible because their candidate mitt romney was running only on one thing, the economy is bad, i can fix it. the next person up for re-election is you. it's not barack obama. it's you. you would think talking up improvement in the economy and your participation would be a good thing to do, but they another doing it. it's now soweight weighted on te of barack obam
